DeepWell Digital Therapeutics: here is the software house of therapeutic video games

DeepWell was born by the hand of Mike Wilsonco-founder of Return Digitaland of Ryan Douglasfounder and former general manager of the international medical device company Nextern. Wilson and Douglas formed a group of specialists from the video game industry and the medical field to collaborate and lead the development of the games of DeepWellwork with independent creators from all over the world to release new titles that cover every platform and genre, and make available the company’s studied technologies to help developers design and re-propose games in a new guise to amplify their innate therapeutic value.

DeepWell is already working on a series of DTx games that will support the company’s patented technical processes and systems. Conceived in the midst of the pandemic from COVID-19, DeepWell’s DTx games represent a new tool to address the rampant crisis that continues to threaten healthcare systems around the world. During the pandemic, the inequality of access to quality health care has become even greater, thus worsening the forecasts for the future.
